This is not a music video, but an excerpt from a documentary film. The elderly crying man, a friend of Townes’s, had been recently diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Yes youre right

The Bob Dylan of Country.. I love him!

Townes was a great talent. Literally drank and drugged himself to death. 52 years old i believe is when he passed. He wrote that great song pancho and lefty sang by Wille Nelson and Merle Haggard. Great reaction Sarah.

Sarah. Your beautiful empathy to the human condition would make you a wonderful counsellor. You could help a lot of troubled people see that there is hope. Wonderful reaction as usual.

A very profound and heartfelt song

The old man's name is Seymour, he was a blacksmith and born in the 1800's.He died a year after this from cancer. Townes was treated with insulin shock therapy when he was younger and it erased a lot of his childhood memories. He struggled with it but loved writing songs and even wrote songs in his sleep. Townes lived with Seymour and they played music on his porch often. Great to see your reaction!

Loves Townes. Try "My Mother the Mountain." Amazing imagery and haunting lyrics.

My favorite from this same documentary is the song 'Pancho and Lefty', here it is: kzread.info/dash/bejne/rKSmtLxrp6m3dJc.html Emmylou Harris & the Hot Band has my favorite live cover of 'Pancho and Lefty', from 1977 on Old Grey Whistle Test: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pZeMl5KIYsuqm6w.html Another favorite by Townes Van Zandt is his live cover of a song by the Rolling Stones, called 'Dead Flowers' (I think it was used in the film 'The Big Lebowski').
